Mies; Maria

The Lace Makers of Narsapur : Indian housewives produce for the world market / Maria Mies - Victoria, Australia; Spinifex; 2012 - 222p; 22x14cm - Feminist Classics .

A sensitive study of women at the beginning of the process of globalisation, where they are employed to make luxury goods for the Western markets, but contrarily are described as 'non-working housewives' doing 'leisure-time activity' instead of as workers or producers, which results in pay levels under acceptable levels.
